JUICE EXTRACTOR.

Application filed March 10, 1924. semi No, eeaeee.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, WILLIAM G. YOUNKER and MIKE J. KELLY, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Mason City, in the county of Cerro Gordo and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Juice Extractors, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a juice extractor and has for its principal object to provide a structure to be engaged with a cloth sack or the like and at the same time.

support a bucket or the like to receive the juice in order to squeeze the sack and force the juice therefrom so that it may drip into the bucket or other receptacle.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature having a very simple and efiicientconstruction which may be manufactured at low cost,- one which is reliable, durable, and'well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, or in the combination and arrangement of the parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

The figure is a perspective view showing my invention as used.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that 1 designates a cloth sack or the like in which fruit juice is usually placed to be drained and strained therefrom. This sack is adapted to be supported in any suitable manner upon a nail 2 or the like and our invention is then engaged therewith.

Our invention consists of a ring 3 having two sides or frames 4 attached thereto. These sides or frames are preferably flexible and in the form of a network so as to surround the major portion of the sack as is illustrated in the drawing. The bottom of these are connected by means of a chain 5 or some other flexible member preferably provided with terminal hooks 6. This chain 5 supports the bail 7 of a bucket 8 or other suitable receptacle so that the. juice may drip from the sack into the bucket. The weight of the bucket will tend to press the frames t against the sack so as to squeeze the juice therethrough. In assembling the device the neck or open end of the sack is inserted through the ring 3 by means of a cord or the like. One end of the chain 5 is then engaged with the bottom of oneof the frames and passed through the bail T of the bucket and then engaged with the bottom of the other frame. The device is then ready for use and the pressure becomes greater asthe receptacle fills with the juice which is a very desirable feature of the invention.

Although I have described the preferred embodiment of the invention with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new is:

1. A. device of the class described including a ring, a pair of sides attached to the ring, and a flexible member detachably connected to the lower ends of the sides.

2. A device of the class described including a ring for engaging a sack or the like, a pair of sides connected to the ring made of network for partially surrounding the sack engaged by the ring, and a detachable flexible member engageable with the lower end of the sides for supporting a receptacle all in the manner and for the purpose specified.

3. A device of the class described including a ring, a pair of sides attached to the ring and a flexible member having hook terminals engageable with the sides for supporting a receptacle all in the manner and for the purpose specified.

4. In combination, a sack for containing juice or the like, for straining purposes of means engaged with the sack for support-ing a. receptacle therebelow to cause pressure on the sack.

5. In combination, a sack adapted to con- 7 tain juice for straining purposes, a receptacle, and means surrounding the sack for supporting the receptacle so that thew-eight of the receptacle will press the means about the sack to aid in forcing the juice therefrom into the receptacle. I

6. In combination, a sack adapted to contain juice to be strained t-h-erethrough, a

ring engaged with the sack, a pair of side frames attached to the ring and surrounding partially the sack, a receptacle, a chain supand then engagedwith the nail porting the receptacle and detachah-l engage'd with the side frames so Weight of the receptacle will press LL19, frames against the sack to aid in :"oid juice therefor so that it may drip to receptacle all in the manner and for the purpose specified.

7. A juice extract-or of the class described including a squeezer mechanism and a member attached thereto for supporting a receptact-e therebelow the Weight of said recep tacl-e tending to actuate the sqneezer mech anism through the member.

In testimony whereof We efiis: our tures in presence of two mtnesses.
